Which film has been selected as the mid-fest film of the 57th International Film Festival of India?
- A.‘I Matter’
- B.‘Dhurandhar’
- C.‘Becoming’
- D.‘Article 370’
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is ‘I Matter’, the Romanian-language drama also known by its original title ‘Eu Contez’, which will have its Indian premiere as the mid-fest film of the festival in Goa. Option B, ‘Dhurandhar’, is the opening feature film of Indian Panorama 2026 and not the mid-fest title, so the two slots must be kept apart. Option C, ‘Becoming’, the Ladakhi film by Leena Yadav, is the opening non-feature film of Indian Panorama. Option D, ‘Article 370’, is the Indian entry in the BRICS showcase at the same festival. All three are part of the programme, but only ‘I Matter’ holds the mid-fest slot, which is the single film placed at the centre of the festival's schedule, in this case on 24 November 2026.
